[ARGUS] Argus 5.0 on FreeBSD 14

[Carter Bullard]

I have argus-5.0 compiled and running on FreeBSD 14.0 …
Argus 5.0 has a new feature where it can use 128-bit UUIDs for the scrid, and the zero-conf strategy for argus running on endpoints is to use the endpoints hostuuid / machine-id as the argus srcid.
Linux, MacOS X, Windows, and BSD all have different ways of getting the hostuuid / machine-id.  For FreeBSD, there is /etc/machine-id, is this the best place to get the hostuuid ???
I have that working, and no real way of configuring it yet … is this the best way to get the endpoints UUID  ???
